Notes from the arena champ.
So! Nestor Bane thought he could defeat me? Ha!
Konjor
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to VEASTIAN once again! TERMAGANT VOTARY showed VEASTIAN what they
were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 4-0-0. What's with
VICTORIOUS? He actually beat THE FAMILY's TIRNIELLIS, and walked away with 17 more
points from the fight. Major screwup at THE FAMILY. KURESSA D'GEN lost 10 points to
ETTORE HSIDAR. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe KURESSA D'GEN will provide more
easy wins... So KONJOR finally bought it, eh? I thought he too sure of himself,
always strutting around. FEROCIOUS, there's a lesson here! Advice to fighters with
a 1 will--give up fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was MEDAL OF HONOR 27. Management must be dealin', as the boys at
TERMAGANT VOTARY ain't reelin'! MEDAL OF HONOR 27's mad! What do people see in
KURESSA D'GEN? Hers 14-9-0? THE FAMILY ain't talkin', but she's got 54 points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You
young rapscallions, take note!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! I don't want
to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Tirniellis -- I don't have a kill yet. That is a shame. If only someone would
impale themself on my weapon. You gave it a good try. -- Ettore Hsidar
Soldier 1 -- You soldiers look much better with a real number in the losses column.
-- Draco El Tannjn
Konjor -- Sneaky, aren't ya. Good fight. We'll do it again. -- Nestor Bane
Soldier 3 -- I know I'm not a good fighter. But do you think I would be a good
Soldier? It's either soldiering or the DA. -- Dolt Dimwit
Ferocious -- You don't HAVE to live up to your name, you know. It's okay to be
gentle sometimes. -- Kuressa D'Gen
P.s. Like you're going to listen to that!
Ettore Hsidar -- I hope your Termagant eats you. Slowly. With salsa. -- Tirniellis
Thomas Fowler -- (sigh) It's that kind of day, is it. I might have guessed. I did
guess, but they made me get out of bed anyway. (sigh) Good fight. -- Sjordhal
Soldier 2 -- Yep. Our ONLY win this time was for the title. How typical, although
oh-and-five would have been even MORE typical. Konjor's going to be insufferable
around the guildhouse this week. -- Toranj

The Council of Lords would like to propose a rule change in ADM and Primus. We
propose that Lord Protectors ranked "Grand Champions" and below (ADM) and "The Tower
Guard" and below (Primus) be allowed to fight in the Dark Arena. This would not
impact the top rankings or title match. Any managers who never got his fill or shot
at fighting Gateway monsters would have it as an option. We believe it might spark
some interest in the ADM/Primus realm for some managers. If interested, speak up in
the newsletters or on forums under the "rules changes" thread and let RSI know. This
could even be something to try for 12 months and then be re-evaluated. What say you,
managers of Ghea? -- The Icelord sends....

HDFA Mission Statement
"Show me the money!"
This is the battle cry of a newly formed collection of like-minded individuals:
The High Dolla' Free Agent$. We are not a tough guy alliance: No...we offer no
battle without reward. We search for victory and the prizes and accolades that
follow. We are motivated by winning and will freely use whatever means necessary to
obtain our currency. No stuffy rules, no mandates, no constitutions, no leaders,
only a few objectives:
1) Win as often as possible
2) Celebrate freely and revel in your victories; the more meaningless the
victory the more we celebrate. Highsiding and chest thumping are encouraged.
Ostentatious endzone celebrations with prop usage are encouraged, regardless of
fines, penalties, suspensions or arrest by local authorities. It is important to let
your opponent know how great you are; more importantly, you must let your own
alliance mates know how great you are.
This is a 1-up alliance, let the performance of your fellow Free Agent$ motivate
you. If a Free Agent wins a TV, win 2; if a Free agent wins a contest, win a more
prestigious one.
Current members of the HDFA include: CFH and Abraxis. Inquires can be directed
to: CFH/Rat Salad DM 47
